Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Muslim friend of Munich jihadi arrested; killer planned jihad attack for a year

Jul 24, 2016 5:45 pm By Robert Spencer

“A statement on Munich police’s Facebook page says: ‘There is a suspicion that the 16-year-old is a possible tacit accomplice to the attack.'” What a coincidence: an Afghan Muslim as a tacit accomplice in what the mainstream media desperately wants you to believe was a “right-wing,” “nativist,” “xenophobic” attack. Meanwhile, authorities found nothing about Breivik when they searched Sonboly’s apartment. Why, then, do they think this attack had something to do with Breivik’s? Because they desperately wish that it did.

Munich shooter

“Munich shooting: David Sonboly ‘planned attack for year,'” BBC, July 24, 2016:

The teenage gunman who killed nine people in Munich on Friday had been planning his attack for a year, German authorities say.

David Ali Sonboly, 18, who killed himself after the attack, had a Glock pistol that police believes he may have bought on the so-called dark net.

Meanwhile police in Munich have announced the arrest of a 16-year-old Aghan [sic] friend of the attacker.

They say he is under investigation for not reporting Sonboly’s plans.

A statement on Munich police’s Facebook page says: “There is a suspicion that the 16-year-old is a possible tacit accomplice to the attack.”

The statement goes on to say that the youth reported to police immediately after the shooting on Friday, and was interviewed as somebody with a connection to the attacker.

But in the course of the interviews, they discovered discrepancies in his statements.

They say they are now investigating him on suspicion of failing to report a planned crime.

The investigations will have to show to what extent he was responsible for a Facebook post inviting people to meet at a cinema complex near the main railway station in Munich.

The attacker himself had put up a Facebook post before his attack, inviting people to come to the fast food restaurant where the shooting began.
‘Not specifically targeted’

Seven of the dead in Friday’s shooting at the Olympia shopping centre were were teenagers – two Turks, two Germans, a Hungarian, a Greek and a Kosovan.

A further 35 people were injured, but only four of them have bullet wounds – many were hit fleeing the scene.

The state government officials told a news conference that the victims of the attack had not been specifically targeted and were not classmates of the gunman.

Also they did not include three youths allegedly involved in bullying Sonboly when he was at school.

Robert Heimberger, head of Bavaria’s criminal police, said the gunman had been planning the attack since he paid a visit last year to the town of Winnenden – the scene of a previous school shooting in 2009 – and took photographs.

He said it was likely the Glock pistol – which had been reactivated – was bought on the “dark net” market, an area accessible only with the use of special software. It had been a theatre prop.

Sonboly was said to be a keen player of “first-person shooter” video games.

Mr Heimberger added that the parents of the gunman remained in shock and were not able to be interviewed.

He also said police had not found the manifesto of Norwegian mass killer Anders Behring Breivik when they searched the gunman’s room at his parents’ flat.

A day earlier, officials had raised the possibility of a link to Breivik, whose own attack was carried out five years earlier to the day….

    Interesting to read jihadwatch. In German media we are told that a “German” friend of “David S.” has been arrested.

    OT: There has been an explosion at a restaurant in Ansbach, Germany. May very well have been a gas leak, but worth following…

      Apparently special command forces (SEK) of the police are present; also with helicopters.

        Yes. And I don’t put much credence on twitter comments, but it is now being reported that the Mayor of Ansbach claims it was a bomb and not a gas explosion. ๐Ÿ™

      Was the restaurant air-conditioned . . . Have all refrigerators been accounted for?

          Champ, glad it made you smile. In an environment where there is so much evil, chaos, and sadness, every once-in-a-while laughter provides at least a short, needed respite.

    By ‘David Sonboly’ you mean Ali Daud Sonboly, right?

    A attempt to ‘Westernize’ his name to distract people from the violent invaders.

    Fingers crossed it was a tragic accident. I can understand the intense response due to the current climate in Germany. But why hasn’t the restaurant been identified? It has only been reported as being a “wine bar.”

    Sad for the loss of a life and those injured…

    LOL! Since I can’t trust any media outlet to tell the truth, I’m reduced to following twitter feeds.

    How pathetic.

    Wolves don’t usually go it alone unless they have lost their pack. Wolves travel and kill in packs. It’s easier for them that way. Even when we may hear one howl alone, his pack is not very far away.

    moslims don’t really *act alone.* They are part of the beast and the network of the beast. It’s a beast pack.

    moslims take instructions from the agents of the beast who read from the war manual released by the beast. Weapons are frequently kept in the barracks of the beast wherever the beast has set up an outpost for its war against humanity on behalf of satan the devil.
    Weapons can be dispersed at the barracks when one of the adherents of the beast decides to murder and needs such weapons to carry out the unholy, evil orders from satan.

    Every time one of these unholy, evil, demon-possessed psychopaths carries out his murderous plot, he is said to have *acted alone* because he was *mentally ill* or had a grievance against someone who offended him.
    And another sun comes up and the truth begins to leak out: he wasn’t alone in his spree…he either planned with someone, got his weapon from someone, was inspired by some cleric or imam or other terrorist for satan, and there are others under investigation as possibly being involved.

    moslims are a part of an evil, unholy network working on behalf of satan and his wild beast he set up to torment and torture and kill mankind.

    Reading the posted comments made after I had begun typing. It is going to increase, and will keep increasing until the beast is dead.

    How does it take a year to get a gun and start shooting children in a McDonalds? Oh yeah, that really takes some tactical expertise and planning. WTF? Muslim IQ I suppose.

    This is a full blown islamic jihad uprising now.

    No wonder the German authorities are going to enact tougher firearms laws. They will disarm the people before the revolution kicks off.

    The German authorities have a matter of months to put Germany in total lock down. My guess that in the next couple of weeks leaders of nationalist parties and the opposition will be arrested on trumped up charges.

    If he wanted revenge on his school mates why did he not go shoot them? I think this weakens the
    ‘classic’ teenage massacre theory. He obviously wanted to kill some kaffirs.
